[ he shrugs. it's hard to know what archie's feeling right now since they haven't really talked about it. they should, he knows, but getting around to it is a lot harder than one would think. ]

Dunno. We haven't really talked.

[ his gaze drops at that and he frowns. ]

[perfectible]

It's going to be okay. [ her hand slides down from his face, to his neck and touch his hair.] Do you want me to reach out to him?

[novelizes]

[ making a low noise of approval, he reaches up to catch her fingers, bringing them around to kiss them. ]

Nah. This is something me and Archie have to work out.

[perfectible]

Okay, [ she says with an encouraging smile. she hopes they do work it out. because here, they only have each other and they need to stick together. things might get awkward here again.]

I am going to reach out to V, though. I want to make sure she's okay.

[novelizes]

[ kissing her hands again to show his appreciation, he nods. ]

Sounds like a good plan.

[perfectible]

[ she smiles as he does, loving him for loving her, scars and flaws and all.]

I'm glad you told me, Jug.

[ he can't help it. he's irresistibly drawn to her, largely because of her flaws. he doesn't want some perfect princess girlfriend. he wants her. ]

There's no way I wouldn't. You know that.

[perfectible]

[ she loves him for so many reasons, his honesty is one of them.]

I know. [ she leans in to press her forehead to his, her smile a tiny bit teasing.] I just thought some positive affirmation might do you good.

[novelizes]

[ snorting, he rubs her nose with his own, nipping her lips. ]

From you, I'll accept it.

[perfectible]

[ she moves now to climb into his lap, straddling it as she dips her head to kiss him, briefly, teasingly.] Do that again.

[novelizes]

[ nipping at her lips, he obliges, repeating the soft gesture. then, tilting his head, he begins pressing soft kisses to her jaw, going up until he reaches her ear. ]

I love you, Betty Cooper.

[perfectible]

[ she shivers at the sensation of his mouth against her skin and then again when he murmurs those words to her, a breathless smile on her lips and flush on her cheeks.]

I love you more than anyone in any world, Jughead Jones.
